equivalent fractions

Equivalent fractions: two fractions are said to be equivalent if they represent the same quantity.

To make fractions equivalent divide or multiply both the numerator (top number) and denominator (bottom number) of a fraction by a convenient number.

When dividing a convenient number is a number that goes both into the numerator and the denominator.

When multiplying a convenient number is a whole number greater than 1.
